    Washer and Dryer Cycle Times To Long?

      Jerome, your concept of "everyday" clothes, then, includes HEAVY WORK clothes such as cattle ranchers, farmers, football players, and mechanics, which is not the same as much of the rest of the population's concept of it.

    Epitome of proper daily laundry sorting???

      <blockquote>I'm guessing certain cultures are cautious about washing their underwear with outer garments?</blockquote> Correct. U.S. market ... nope.  Much more likely *everything* is washed together.  Sister once ran a large load at mom's after a fishing outing with neighbors ... towels...

      L.P presumably is Long Play.  Can anyone translate Orth., Lon., and S. Fil.?

    Washer and Dryer Cycle Times To Long?

      Jerome, "everyday" clothes in that context refers to people who work office jobs and such.  No grunge and heavy sweating.  The Heavy Duty cycle surely isn't required, but the Quick cycle is a bit lax depending on the load size, those are intended for maximum of 2 to 3 items.

    Happy 20th Birthday to my Whirlpool Duet FL Washer

      Matt, what is your full model number, including the engineering revision (last digit)?  The cleaning routine isn't on the original model revision.  It's referenced in the user guide for those that have it.

    Is it over for Whirlpool ?

    Happy 20th Birthday to my Whirlpool Duet FL Washer

      The 2006 Duet pair are retired today from RJ's rental property.  The current tenant says the washer is leaking and she's "done" with them.  Both have been used-and-abused as renters do.  The washer is *gnasty*, she uses those froofy boutique liquid detergents and never runs the cleaning cycle...

    1974 Lady Kenmore Selective Dialing

      This machine is long before the push to cold-everything. The timer mechanically has a rotating "program" plate with holes that correspond to the starting positions of the various selections.  An array of pins are linked to the selection buttons.  The pin for the selection presses against the...

    Is it over for Whirlpool ?

      I wouldn't expect this washer/board problem to be as much of a hit on the company as he's claiming ... remains to be seen.

    Sears Parts Direct

      There apparently in the past were multiple entry points to the site.  Some, most, or all of them may have been eliminated over the course of site revamps/redesigns.  I had a non-standard URL bookmarked for years that entered to a page with a different search interface.  It quit working several...

    Kenmore Calypso Use and Care Video

      Best HE toploader ever on the market thus far. Water level is always below the wash plate.  The load rotates counterclockwise through the recirculation stream, the items simultaneously bounce-and-rollover.  Max spin speed is 800 RPM. My video camera at the time was moderate resolution, had...

    [i]WORST[/i] pre-1980 agitator design ever made??

      Reviving an 'ancient' thread is OK IMO, if the new post adds something relevant ... not the manic repetitious ranting that a certain someone is continually spouting.  Perusing a thread from years ago surely can be interesting and bring up fond memories.  Robert wouldn't have included a...

    Avocado Magic Chef D W

      Rinse Hold vs. Rinse'n Dry has a difference of no drying.  It'd be more logical for that purpose to label the button Rinse Hold, Heat Off, No Dry, or some such. Rinse  Full Hold  Cycle fits the space as nicely as Part   Full Cycle Cycle No     Full Dry   Cycle also fits, and fewer...

    Photo of Early A806 *NON-PP* Timer Dial?

      I posted at least once in the past, maybe a couple times, about a long-time family friend who told me about having bought a Maytag ("I needed a new washer and decided I'm gonna get a Maytag") and returned it because it twisted and mangled her knit tops and sweaters.  Previous washers that I...

    Avocado Magic Chef D W

      Is the first button intended as "Part(ial) Cycle?"  Or is it literally "Part Cycle" ... as automobile parts, farm machinery parts, etc. .... a really new Concept! Why would a button be needed to differentiate a Partial Cycle?  The timer can be turned to any desired starting position, no...

    EPA Reversals

      I stated above that I checked the base pressure an an otherwise empty tank.  There's no spigot/drain at the tank.  Ran a bathtub faucet to no flow.  Confirmed via an outdoor faucet on the feed-in or outflow line (whichever is it) to the tank, and a lavatory faucet in the garage.  Empty...

    Off-Topic - Water Well   Thanks for the suggestion.  I don't have much knowledge/experience on water wells/tanks.  The only (obvious) trouble thus far in 20+ yrs was a bad capacitor in April 2019.  I recall the servicer did some adjustment on both the tank pressure and the switch pressures at...

    "New and improved" cascade platinum and platinum plus.

      Walmart and HEB here have Cascade Complete powder for several months.  I bought six boxes at Target in March 2024, at which time the others didn't have it.
